摘要
Wilson's disease-like lesion was seen in a 2-month-old calf. Fibrosis was apparent in the liver, but there was no cholestasis or icterus. Marked spongy degeneration was seen in the central nervous system. Hepatic and brain copper values were significantly higher than normal: 1970 and 113 ppm dry matter, respectively. Serum ceruloplasmin was lower than normal: 17.5 U/liter. Etiology of this disease was unknown, but there is no evidence that the calf ingested a large quantity of copper.
